In this case I'm talking about strong side hip carry. Do you prefer 0 degrees, 10 degrees, 20 degrees? Or some other degree of cant? ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | ||

I prefer a negative 5 to 10 degree cant. It is a more natural draw. Sensitive and caring since August 2009 Some people are like a Slinky....not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. | |||

About 15 degrees. I like a fairly strong forward cant. Take Care, Shoot Safe, Chris | |||

I prefer a strong forward cant, also, whether IWB or OWB. I admit that I don’t know the exact degree of the cant, however…call it 15 or 20. "The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli." - George Costanza | |||

Depends if it’s around the yard or concealed. Concealed it’s at about 4:30 and a 10-15 can’t works well. If it’s just in my hip in Kayden then straight draw because it’s right at 3:00. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Mistake Not... |
I prefer my pistols to have lots of "can" and absolutely no "can't". I couldn't resist. BUT, to really answer your question, if appendix, 0 degrees, if ICW at hip (at about 4 0'clock just behind hip), about 15-20 degrees. If OWB (just a bit less than 3 0'clock) maybe 10 degrees? ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

Zero. Why? My duty holster was not canted and since I wear my artillery at 3 oclock, in the same position as my duty rig, I want to use muscle memory on the draw. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

I carry at about 4:30-5:00 and prefer 10-15 degrees of cant on my OWBs. My primary CCW is a P365 w/ an XL frame which is carried in a Milt Sparks Criterion which has more cant (20-25 degrees) which allows for a full grip presentation. Most of my other CCW guns ride in Milt Sparks VM-II holsters which are somewhere between 18-20 degrees. _________________________ "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last” - Winston Churchil | |||

My primary EDC holster is a Kramer horsehide OWB belt scabbard at the 3:30 - 4:00 position. Whatever the cant is on that holster, is my preferred cant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice. | |||

OWB or IWB? IWB, 10-15 probably. OWB, open carry, 0-10 The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Straight drop for me. Just what I’m used to. I have had some canted holsters in the past and felt they made my draw awkward. YMMV. | |||

I prefer no cant on my CCW holster | |||

15-20 degrees IWB at 4:00. Tucks the butt of the grip in against my back and makes it conceal much better. | |||

Just went through this (with revolvers,) seems I have a natural cant when I draw... I drew quickest with 0. | |||

I thought this was a thread about how much we tilt our pistol to the side when busting a cap. I prefer a full 90 degrees I think zero cant feels more natural for me, but a strong forward can't seems to conceal the butt of my pistol easier. | |||

I like straight or a touch of forward cant. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I've tried to stop carrying at the 4:00 position, it just seems a bit slower to draw from than other positions from IWB (in Florida, with few exceptions, we don't carry openly and it's usually too warm for a covering garment over an OWB set up for me). I've been trying to carry appendix or just back from that at 2-3 o'clock and, with appendix I like it either straight or just a bit reversed, maybe 10 degrees. At 2-3 o'clock, straight. Bob | |||

So far, slight to no cant depending on whether it's just behind or on 3:00. | |||

Depends on barrel length of what I'm carrying. Typically, it's a 2 1/2" 66-1. I wear it at about 5 o'clock with a 15–20-degree cant. If it's full size 1911 day, it's @ 3 o'clock with a straight drop. A 4" revolver around the homestead is also straight drop. Bear country is a 5" 44 mag cross draw with neg 20 degrees (belt knife is on the strong side) ____________ Pace | |||
